Wilsonville mom who lost bid to treat daughter cancer with CBD, not surgery, turns self in

An Oregon mother at the center of the debate about a parent’s right to refuse established medical advice has turned herself in to authorities.

Christina Gale Dixon, 35, is being held in the Clackamas County Jail on suspicion of custodial interference and criminal mistreatment, records show. She is accused of defying a court order to deliver her daughter, 13-year-old Kylee, to state care in order to prevent her from getting a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her liver.
